Uganda’s rising debt is a climate injustice.
We reject false solutions like debt swaps. We demand full debt cancellation, grants—not loans, and a UN Debt Convention for fairness.

"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis."

"It’s summertime, but the living is no longer easy . This has been a week of unprecedented heat. […] In other words this past Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were the three hottest days on record, but let’s face facts. Extreme temperatures are no longer a one day, one week or one month phenomenon. If there is one thing that unites our divided world is that we are all increasingly feeling the heat." @antonioguterres@UN
Today I had the privilege of being outside Southwark Crown Court as some of my heroes were taken away to begin the longest prison sentences ever handed down to nonviolent activists.
Here are some of the speeches made outside court, beginning with the mother of Cressida Gethin.
@EnergyTransfer Did you know that every 4400 tons of CO2 emitted, causes statistically the death of 1 person? How many did you cause? https://t.co/1fTR2WVirg.
13 groups, 10 countries, 37 arrests, 1 unifying demand – to end oil by 2030.
Many more also took action around the world. It was a busy day, but then we don't have much time...

#80YearsAreEnough
#G7 kicks off, in the wake of a world experiencing extreme heatwaves and flood. Calls for #G7 governments to act on #fossilfuels and #makepolluterspay echo in Berlin, one of Europe's big coal producers.
Billions of people are currently surviving in temperatures between 45 and 50C. This is "only" at a 1.5C global increase. At 2C, these regions will become unbearable for long periods of the year. The lack of a coherent plan for this is shocking. #Mitigation is urgent.
Right now on the streets of Berlin! Europe is facing a decisive election next week, and youth across the continent are rising up. As the radical right hopes for an easy win, we are out there, defending democracy and fighting for climate justice. 🌍 #ClimateStrike#VoteFuture
Mexico has been suffering through one of the worst heatwaves in its history over the last two weeks, shattering dozens of all-time records with no signs of letting up.
Temperatures will soar above 45°C (113°F) as a relentless heat dome restrengthens and remains parked overhead for the next 7+ days.
In the Gulf Coast state of Tabasco, it has been so hot that howler monkeys are dropping dead from the trees.
Mexico is also suffering through a brutal nationwide drought, with 70% of the nation in drought and 50% in severe drought.
„For example, for heat waves, I found that most of the heat wave coverage didn't address climate change at all. … We find the same for extreme rainfall events: they are mostly discussed without contextualising climate change.“

BREAKING: @equinor CEO confronted over aggressive oil & gas expansion across the world.
Last year, they made £29 billion in profits. They roll in their cash, while the rest of the world burns.
This is inconceivable greed.
